CEO Tom Taylor stated: “We take pride in these first-quarter 2023 earnings results as they demonstrate the continuing strong execution of our long-term growth strategies and our near-term agility in adapting to the significant year-over-year declines in existing home sales and broader macroeconomic challenges. As consumers prioritize value and savings, we are capitalizing on our low prices and value options, our trend-forward broad assortments, in-stock job lot quantities, and superior customer service provided by our store associates.”
